Taraji P. Henson Shot 'Acrimony' with Tyler Perry in Eight Days!

Taraji P. Henson hit Seth Meyers‘ couch on Late Night on Thursday evening (March 22) and talked all about how intense it was to film her latest film Acrimony in just eight days.

“He [Tyler Perry] talked me into doing this film while I was still filming Empire. Did you know it took eight days to put this film in the can?,” the 47-year-old actress told Seth.

“My co-star does the first half of the movie and then it took five days to put all, I guess 60 pages, of my work in the can,” Taraji added. “I was scared! I was like ‘Tyler, you’re crazy and if this thing doesn’t work, I’m putting all the blame on you.’ That man never seizes to amaze me.”

Taraji also reveals how she almost missed her Benjamin Button callback for a yard sale and talks about fans connecting with Cookie Lyon – Watch more after the cut!
